Dragon NaturallySpeaking tutorial: How to use the vocabulary editor

In this Dragon NaturallySpeaking tutorial, I show how to use a Vocabulary Editor.

Dragon NaturallySpeaking provides a Vocabulary Editor to change the properties of any word that Dragon recognises.

The most common option that is used in the Vocabulary Editor is to retrain a word. For example, if you have a word in Dragon's vocabulary, such as "Smith" and if you realise that Dragon is not interpreting your pronunciation of the word, then you can retrain the word using the Vocabulary Editor.

You can also add or delete a word using the Vocabulary Editor. Adding or deleting the word can also be done by dictating a new word and then correcting Dragon's interpretation of that dictation. The Vocabulary Editor will be useful in situations which you need to add several words in a single batch.

I have made a YouTube video with this Dragon NaturallySpeaking tutorial. Apart from showing you how to train a word, I also give a quick overview of the properties that Dragon can associate with a word that is in its vocabulary.

If you are frequently bedridden due to illnesses like chronic pain, chances are that you will tend to lose muscle mass. Less muscle strength can lead to increase pain thus causing a vicious cycle of chronic pain. It is important therefore to find a way to exercise and strengthen the muscle despite being bedridden.

Over the years, I have found myself frequently to be in this situation due to fibromyalgia. There are several videos about exercises for the bedridden patients(for example, this). However, the exercises in these are more to improve mobility rather than increase muscle strength. Ultimately, I spent quite a bit of time compiling a list of exercises from YouTube that exercise and strengthen every major muscle group. The list is provided below along with the major muscle groups that they exercise.As I have suffered from injuries because of using weights incorrectly, I recommend trying only with the resistance bands initially and that is what I have included in the list.

I know your time is important. So let's get right to the main points first and save the details for later.
Here is what you need to know about disability insurance in the US.

Disability Happens More Often Than You Think
According to the United States Census Bureau, nearly 1 in 5 people are disabled. This does not include invisible disabilities which are estimated to be 10%. And then there are temporary disabilities that can prevent you from working for several months to a few years at a time. With these figures, as a conservative estimate, there is a 33% chance that you will be requiring disability insurance at some point in your life
.It Happens to Women More Often Than Men
According to the United States Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, 24.4% women report on disability as compared to 19.8% men.

As a patient with chronic pain, I have to try out different painkillers and antidepressants to manage my pain. Most of these medications, especially the antidepressants, have side effects that include increased dependence and, therefore, can cause withdrawal symptoms. Depending on the duration and the dosage of the medication, these symptoms can range from a mere inconvenience to brutal and long-lasting health problems.

I myself faced tremendous difficulty while trying to wean myself off an antidepressant called amitriptyline. Like many of its counterparts, amitryptiline also has drowsiness as one of its side effects. Consequently, insomnia as a result of withdrawal from amitriptyline was a major problem for me. From a high of 75 mg, I was able to reduce the dosage to 25 mg at the rate of 5- 10 mg every fortnight without much trouble. However, reducing dosage from 25 mg onwards was a nightmare - no pun intended. I started experiencing disturbing vivid dreams that made it impossible …
